Meet Me

Hello, I'm Felix - I'm an integrative psychotherapist working with individuals and couples in London.

I'm registered with both the BACP and UKCP and have multiple qualifications in the field. My work is based in relational, phenomenological and psychodynamic training, and is continuously informed by developments in research, philosophy and academia. My approach is experiential, compassionate and open-minded, whilst also retaining elements of challenge so you feel supported as you face what matters most.

I believe that it is through our experience of each other in therapy that something hidden and unique can be disclosed, and that is what I aim to find with you.

Meet Me

Approach

My training is Integrative, and covers Existential Phenomenology, Psychodynamic, Relational, Gestalt, Psychosexual, as well as some Jungian and Transpersonal approaches. My work is continuously informed by developments in research and techniques, and I attend regular Continuous Professional Development and Supervision.

I work with individuals and couples. I have experience working with a wide range of presentations, including:

  • Abuse
  • Addiction (of any kind)
  • Anger
  • Anxiety
  • Bereavement & Grief
  • Complex Family Dynamics
  • Depression
  • Illness
  • Loneliness
  • Relationship Issues
  • Sex & Sexuality
  • Stress
  • Trauma
  • Work-related Issues

As my training and approach are holistic, I can work with most issues whether they are included in the list above or not.

In our work together I will help you to address your challenges, behavioural patterns and past experiences that are still affecting daily life.

Approach

Sessions

I offer in-person and online sessions for open-ended therapy. I also offer shorter term therapy, or even one-off sessions for people to troubleshoot a specific or acute difficulty. I operate from The City, and separately in Farringdon, or online via Zoom.

My fees are £120 per hour, and I hold low-cost slots too for those who are students, unemployed or retired. For long-term therapy work, I offer an initial 20-minute call to familiarise ourselves with each other and discuss goals and expectations.

All sessions are strictly confidential, and I abide by the UKCP and BACP ethical frameworks. I am DBS cleared.
